I was just longing to get up and go off for a ride, and now there will be a real reason for doing it." "I will go with you," said Turly, suddenly changing his front.
"Oh, no, you couldn't, Turly! There is only one pony.

You must stay behind, and if there's any fuss because I'm a little late or something, you can tell them I've gone for the eggs and will be back directly." Nurse came in and took them off to bed, but Terry kept thinking of her morning adventure.

She did not think of it as an adventure, but as a delightful surprise for Gran'ma.
"She does so much for us," thought Terry, "and we can do so little for her! And she will find it so nice to have a good fresh egg for breakfast!" Still Terry felt it would never do to tell Nursey of her intentions.

She would be sure to think that everything would go wrong.

Rain would come on, or Connolly's really wouldn't have any eggs, or the pony would go lame.
